I'm an 18 year old male living with Lupus. (which is a disease that affects the joints). Because of this Im not realy physically active and I don't participate in sports . I'm kinda small for my age i only weight 125 pounds are there any exercises I can do to help me ? I dont have money for a gym or equipment Hi Kast Here are some ideas on how to heal your issue. Be sure to do a colon and liver cleanse to clean out the toxins in the bowel and blood. You can heal yourself with some education on natural healing and some action steps by yourself. Ive seen it done many times. Cause Food allergies (there is a 100 percent correlation between lupus and food allergies), rheumatoid arthritis, other connective tissue diseases, parasites, candidiasis, bowel problems, and digestive enzyme deficiencies can create symptoms that mimic or exacerbate SLE. Migraines, epilepsy, and psychoses must also be ruled out before a proper course of treatment can be decided upon. Both forms of lupus primarily strike young women (90% of cases) and young children. The drugs hydralazine, procainamide, and beta blockers can cause false-positive readings of SLE, and can also produce a lupus-like condition that disappears when the drugs are no longer taken. Birth control pills and environmental stresses can also exacerbate lupus symptoms. ------------------------------... Natural Cures Diet: Eat an organic, whole foods diet. Also avoid overeating and limit your intake of dairy, beef products, and polyunsaturated oils. Also screen for food allergies and avoid all foods to which you are allergic or sensitive. Increase your intake of vegetables, especially green, yellow, and orange, and consume non-farm-raised fish several times a week. Herbs: Supplementation with Swedish bitters with each meal can increase hydrochloric acid production. Also drink an infusion of nettle twice a day. Other useful herbs include echinacea, goldenseal, licorice, pau d`arco, and red clover Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments. Hyperthermia: Hyperthermia involves artificially creating fever in the body for the purpose of boosting immune function. Hyperthermia can be a highly effective method of eliminating toxins and heavy metals, as well as infectious bacteria and viruses that cannot survive in elevated body temperatures. I suggest several at-home hyperthermia treatments. Juice Therapy: Drink the juice of carrot, celery, flaxseed oil, black currant oil, and garlic. Nutritional Supplementation: Hydrochloric acid (HCL) deficiency is common in people with lupus, therefore HCL supplements with each meal is advised. Other useful nutrients include vitamin A with beta carotene, vitamin C and bioflavonoids, vitamin B complex, vitamin B5, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, calcium, magnesium, selenium, zinc, essential fatty acids, proteolytic enzymes taken away from meals, digestive enzymes taken with meals, and the amino acids L-cysteine, L-methionine, and L-cystine. Topical Treatment: PABA cream applied topically can help ease symptoms. Alternative Professional Care If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating Lupus: Acupuncture, Biofeedback Training, Bodywork, Cell Therapy, Chelation Therapy, Detoxification Therapy, Environmental Medicine, Enzyme Therapy, Guided Imagery, Homeopathy, Juice Therapy, Light Therapy, Magnetic Field Therapy, Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Oxygen Therapy, Qigong, Rolfing, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Best of health to you Source(s): naturalcures.com healmarketplace.com Yoga would be something that you could do. Almost any one can learn to do yoga at their own speed. That's the great thing about it...you can do what you know you can do and move slowly if needed. Begin with the sun salutation. It's a yoga routine that includes approx. 12 postures. It can take as short as 5 minutes or as long as 15 minutes depending on what you want out of yourself. You only need to remember to breathe to bring oxygen to muscles and to clear your mind. Good Luck! http://www.santosha.com/asanas/suryanama... I have several clients with Lupus and the key is not to over-exert yourself and also not to get upset when you can't do exercise one day. Yoga is safe for everyone since it is done at your own pace. You dont need to go to a class (it is great to go to learn the proper way of doing certain poses). Take a look at Yoga Journal on the web which will list a variety of poses and there effects. Dedicate a time of the day to simply breathe and move. One day you may feel like you can do a more intense practice, one day you may simply sit and breathe. That's ok! When you are one with the breath you are one with That which breathes you. Namaste Hi...first off don't worry about your size...what's important is how you feel. You can be physically active and have Lupus. My wife runs 4 miles a day and has had Lupus since she was 15. The joint pain can hold her back some times but she powers through it. I would try some exercises that are easy on the joints such as swimming, and biking. Also do some pushups and situps as well as chin ups. All of these exercises can be done free of charge. If you don't have a pool find a community one or a YMCA near you. Secondly, please whatever you do don't listen to ALT DOC's recommendations. They are all over the web spreading this herbal remedy crap...many of these herbal remedies can interfer with your medications so don't do anything without talking to your doctor first. Lupus is a treatable disease and you will have your ups and downs but you can lead a very normal and successful life. My wife is a dentist and is doing very well for herself. Good luck. I'm sorry about your lupus . Try Yoga , Swimming , Dancing , just anything that makes you happy . |
